• Handling products with care, treating every order as if it were your own to maintain quality and customer trust.
• Delivering within the customer's time slot, providing warm, natural service at the doorstep and leaving customers feeling valued and well looked after.

Requirements

• Build strong relationships with colleagues to create great team spirit and deliver the best service for customers.
• Be warm and welcoming with customers and colleagues.
